Quick Thoughts

April 15, 2009 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1.    Award Stuff Part II:    We just finished up our award picks last week and I realized I left out a few things.  We made all our picks in terms of awards but we had also been reviewing each award historically speaking.  In that sense, we short thrifted our historical review of the Sixth Man, Most Improved, and MVP awards.  So, while we wait for final playoff seedings to be locked in, let's look at some history. … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    Award Picks:    As the NBA season reaches a finish, we don't have too much to do but wait for the playoffs.  While we don't pay too much attention to the post-season awards, this is a perfect time to throw in my two cents as to whom the awards should go to: … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    Limping to the Finish:    About one month ago we had an interesting season going on.  The Magic, Celts, and Cavs were locked in a three-way battle for top seed.  At the bottom of the conference, the eight-seed had a logjam of potential teams vying for the slot.  Out West, the Lakers were pretty much in hand and the Dallas-Phoenix race for the eight seed also looked interesting.  At this point, with a few weeks left in the season, there aren't a whole lot of reasons to watch the homestretch … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

1.    Falkenstein Ruminations:    While the playoff chase whirls in our faces, the background story people are talking about relates to the economic and labor health of the game.  Revenues are projected as down for the next few seasons and David Stern, for the first time, is telling teams to expect the salary cap and the luxury tax threshold lower over each of the next three seasons.  As a consequence, all eyes are on whether the NBA will seek to renegotiate the key terms of the collective … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

NCAA Tourney Preview

March 19, 2009 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

In picking the NCAA tournament winner, and the final four teams, one important factor has stood out in recent years. Teams with the best big men do well. Not the big men who win college POY awards, but the big men who will be drafted in the top ten. There are other important things. It’s good for the backcourt to have as many good players as possible and a good coach is a nice thing to have. But the main thing is having a strong inside game. Going back the last 7 years, it’s clear that the teams … [Read more...] about NCAA Tourney Preview

NBA Draft Update

March 11, 2009 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

Right now a good historical reference as to how the 2009 draft turns out might be the 1989 draft. This draft was weak at the top, but had some pretty good guards chosen later in round one. That’s a little how I think this one will end up. The draft is void of can’t-miss types, but is deep enough with wing players that I’m sure a sleeper or three will emerge from later in the draft.  I’ll list the prospects as I did last month. I feel it’s best to look draft prospects in this order: … [Read more...] about NBA Draft Update
